Welcome aboard Tony.
I'm now about half way through the SCC build and loving it. Even all those M3 rivet bolts on the belly tank which I have just finished assembly.
Remember, if in doubt, shout. There's usually someone on the forum who will have an answer, and of cause there's Steve at STW.
Enjoy
Regards Jim

You don't need a lathe or mill, it's just that those that have them use them. A small belt sander & a Dremel will do any fettling to get things fitting nicely.
